ATATÜRK Stadyumu
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) 4 minutes into the match, ESKİŞEHİR SPOR KULÜBÜ's goal looked a bit too open when Basri Şavat came free, but Onur Baler reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When İlyas Cezri came up free with the goalie in the 8th minute, the ESKİŞEHİR SPOR KULÜBÜ fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that İlyas Cezri couldn't finish the play. When Ahmet Bedri Yekta fell near the penalty area in the 11th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored ESKİŞEHİR SPOR KULÜBÜ's protests and gave Ahmet Bedri Yekta a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Yusufeli JK booed when ESKİŞEHİR SPOR KULÜBÜ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 11 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ahmet Bedri Yekta didn't get a good kick on the ball. Onur Baler stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Basri Şavat's shot from short distance in the 12th minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Erberk Ergül got free with Ali Behzat Şah in the 15th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 20th minute Basri Şavat shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Onur Baler saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Varol Yıldırımtürk sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Erberk Ergül might have been able to make a better finish in the 23rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ali Behzat Şah. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Erberk Ergül ran back to his position shaking his head. Ali Behzat Şah showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from İlyas Cezri in the 25th minute of the match. With a little luck, Yusufeli JK's Ali Behzat Şah got control of the ball when Erberk Ergül tried to sneak it across the goal line. After 27 played minutes Yusufeli JK got a freekick which was hit by Varol Yıldırımtürk. Ali Behzat Şah was a little too slow when İlyas Cezri got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 28th minute. The score was now 1-0. After 36 played minutes İlyas Cezri rounded Yusufeli JK's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 2-0. If İlyas Cezri had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ali Behzat Şah made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from İlyas Cezri in the 44th minute of play. 46 minutes into the match, Erberk Ergül notched a goal, 3-0, to the right of Yusufeli JK's Ali Behzat Şah. Ali Behzat Şah was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-0.

The wind increased when Basri Şavat made the kick off in the second half. After a defensive mix-up in ESKİŞEHİR SPOR KULÜBÜ's zone, Mehmet Şefik Çiltay stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Onur Baler came out of the goal and Mehmet Şefik Çiltay tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 67 minutes into the game, Eralp Akburçak was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Yusufeli JK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave ESKİŞEHİR SPOR KULÜBÜ the free kick. In the 67th minute, Eralp Akburçak hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. ESKİŞEHİR SPOR KULÜBÜ's İlyas Cezri got a good chance for a goal in the 68th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Erberk Ergül struck a weak shot in the 71st minute. Ali Behzat Şah didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for ESKİŞEHİR SPOR KULÜBÜ. Erberk Ergül took the ball and in the 74 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Ali Behzat Şah. Ali Behzat Şah dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 4-0. Yusufeli JK's Ali Behzat Şah played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Erberk Ergül in the 78th minute of play. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Erberk Ergül in the 86th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Ali Behzat Şah prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Ali Behzat Şah showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from İlyas Cezri in the 88th minute of the match.
